Splendor Duel
|
Title: Splendor Duel Review: This is a great quick game. Easy to play when you travel. Very similar to Splendor the original but I do enjoy the board on this one better, and I enjoy the gold and pearls in this game. It is different from the original, but it has the same flavor. Would say age 8 and up if the 8 year old has been a game player. Review by: Julie |

Pumpkin Patch - Bad Seeds
Title: Pumpkin Patch - Bad Seeds
Review:
This is a great game for 9 and up. It's quick 15 to 20 minute strategy game. The object of the game is to plant and gather the most seedling pumpkins. You are laying out seedling cards and coming up with a strategy to place the Cinderella pumpkin, but beware of the crows, and other players trying to lay their cards down first! Lots of fun spookiness!

Genius square game
Title: Genius square
Review:
This is a dice mind game like no other!
Roll all seven dice together. Each player places the 7 blockers into the squares of each grid to match the seven co-ordinates that appear on the dice. Then it’s race time. Each player will fill the 9 colored shapes into every other space on the grid to against the opponent. Whoever finishes first is the winner. This is also great for solo play!

Brain Connect game
Title: Brain Connect
Author: Blue Orange Games
Review:
This is a great family game!
Or a good solitaire game if you want a challenge. The object of the game is to get from point A to point B on the challenge card with the puzzles in front of you. Seems simple enough, but now you have to compete with the others to see who gets it done first. This is a fun game that the whole family can play! Julie

This is a great travel game for the whole family!

7 Wonders Duel game
Title: 7 Wonders Duel
Review:
This is an entertaining, competitive 2-person game that I enjoy playing again and again. It’s perfect to play over a lunch break, and can usually be completed in 30-45 minutes. Players compete in drafting cards to complete sets that build different wonders of the world, which focus on scientific, military, and civic-building mechanisms. I would recommend this game for anyone who enjoys strategy games and wants to become the next emperor of the world!

Game: Trick Question
Title: Trick Question
Review:
As a fan of riddles and word play, I thoroughly enjoy this game. It's a fun four person game that is easy to pick up and is great for after-dinner parties. The questions range from riddles to palindromes and clever word play questions. Some questions seem to have more than one answer and it stirs healthy debates between the players but remember, there is only ever one right answer, and that's the one on the back of the game card.

Ticket to Ride
Title: Ticket to Ride
Review:
This is by far one of my favorite games to play with the family! Anyone can play, even the six year old.
The object of the game is to build your rail from point A to point B on one of your destination cards.. This seems easy but it’s not. Not when there are other players trying to do the same thing, and trying to block you at every turn.
This is a great game for a game night!! There are several different maps to choose from. The Europe has more train stations and the new rails & sails one has Ships!! This is one for the whole family to enjoy!!

Match a Pair of Birds
Title: Match a Pair of Birds, A Memory Game
Review:
Everyone loves a good old fashioned memory game. In this version, you get to match pairs of birds. The catch? You're matching females with males of a same breed, so the pictures don't always match. My family and I played this game together, and we all thought it was a great retake of the memory game.
